  • Tibetan Medicine and Regeneration

    Type Journal Article
    Author Lobsang Dhondup
    Author Cynthia Husted
    Abstract Multiple sclerosis is given as an example of how Tibetan medicine treats disease with its understanding of the interplay of the five elements, three humors, and their qualities and locations. The three-humor interpretation agrees with the microscopic three-humor description of demyelination. Treatments to promote regeneration include complementary medicine.

  • Qi Gong's relationship to educational kinesiology: A qualitative approach

    Type Journal Article

    Abstract This paper qualitatively reviews two complementary therapies; Qi Gong and educational kinesiology (EK). It is being suggested that Qi Gong and EK may be united through a qualitative convergence and a shared underlying concept. The authors hypothesize that a coherent rationale can be formed through this conceptual synthesis and propose that to some extent Qi Gong movements and EK can be considered to work in unison with each other. The logical synthesis of these two therapies is being presented to identify Qi Gong movements with concepts of brain gymnastics and also to explain how this new construct can be developed and implemented into practice. When verified, this hypothesis will allow individuals to better understand Chinese health exercises from the modern science perspective such as neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and psychoneuroimmunology.

    Notes:

    • This book argues that the most profound and far-reaching effects of Buddhism on Chinese culture occurred at the level of practice, specifically in religious rituals designed to cure people of disease, demonic possession, and bad luck. This practice would leave its most lasting imprint on the liturgical tradition of Taoism. In focusing on religious practice, it provides a corrective to traditional studies of Chinese religion, which overemphasize metaphysics and spirituality.
